Well, not so much the timer callback, that just gets buffered up.  If
there's data that's not displayed, too bad.

But, I see now that my input function will also be prevented from
running, say if I start dragging my window around, and that will, in
fairly short order cause data loss.

Looks like I'll need a separate reader process that takes care of
sending the incoming data to a file.  Either that, or start learning
about threads...

Thanks for the clues.
